Luke 9:31-40 English Standard Version (ESV)

31. who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.

33. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.

34. As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

35. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!”

36. And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

37. On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

38. And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

39. And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.

40. And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
